For feminist women in Greater Manchester and the North West

Main menu

We invite women to join Manchester Feminist Network on Saturday 1st March to celebrate International Women’s Day! At this free event at Friends Meeting House we will host a variety of workshops, including Singing, Lindyhop dance class, Feminist Avengers Creative Activism, Issues affecting Lesbian and Bisexual Women seeking asylum, Feminism and Religion, and various Craftivism activities where you can make feminist and peace related crafts!
We will be selling cakes, bags and badges. News from Nowhere Women’s Radical bookshop will be selling books and we will feature a performance from the WAST choir. If you have childcare requirements or want more information please email manchesterfeministnetwork@riseup.net or find us on facebook. Hope to see you there!

Monthly meetings ever since and have been attending demos, running campaigns and spreading positive feminist ideals throughout Manchester.

In October 2010 MFN attended the Million Women Rise Manchester March, organised by an MFN founding member, Louise.

As well as frequent socials, the group has held discussions on

sexualisation of children

women in sport,

growing up as a woman

beauty contests

women in the media

December saw the first MFN organised action; covering up sexist and degrading magazines in WHSmiths

We have screened and held a discussion on the Demand Change film about prostitution, attending Reclaim The Night and Mothers Against Violence demos, had talks from Wast (Women Asylum Seekers Together).

Manchester Feminist Network is women only because we believe that there are already few spaces where women know they will be heard and supported. An all-female environment encourages empathy and support and energises women.
